Switching Data

All customers in New Jersey have the choice of purchasing their natural gas and / or electric supply from a third party supplier rather than their local utility company if they so choose. This is as a direct result of the Electric Deregulation and Energy Competition Act (“EDECA”) which authorized the Board to permit competition in the electric and gas marketplace. The charts below show how many customers have chosen to be served by third party suppliers and provide some data regarding these customers.
